At 3 p.m. on Friday, December 25th, Local 2086 and 5280 members responded to several reports of heavy smoke coming from the top of DADS landfill, located at 3500 S. Gun Club Road in Arapahoe County. Members from Engine 23 saw the plume of smoke from their station and additional resources were dispatched. Access to the scene was challenging and when crews arrived, they found a 25x25 foot area of garbage burning. Although there were no structures or property threatened, 2 Engines, a Brush Truck and Water Tender were needed to access and supply water for extinguishing the fire. No injuries occurred and the cause is undetermined.
